We were 8 girlsfriends who were looking for a place to eat just before an event at the Centaur Theatre. We made reservations before hand. When we got there, they had made a mistake and organized seating for 6 only. They fixed it for us. There were a lot of groups of women who had the same idea who were...

My husband and arrived at the restaurant to meet with friends. We were hoping to get a drink while waiting.
1. Our reservations were not found.
2. We were ignored for 20 minutes. When I managed to flag down a woman who seemed to act as the maitre'd, she made it clear that we were bothering her.
3. When the...

I was ate at this restaurant last night and was very disappointed. The service was poor (lack of chips and salsa on arrival, Guacamole that had been ordered but never arrived) and the food mediocre (cold, with almost no sauce on my duck, cloyingly sweet mango chicken, undercooked aubergine). I asked the waitress to bring the manager so I could...

January 31, 2015...Horrible experience at Casa de Mateo. 1st the surliest of waitresses sits us near the front door that get very cold every time someone opens it to come in. We ask to move and she refuses. Maybe we should have insisted more like at least 4 other groups did and whom where moved accordingly. The waitress never smiles...

My 11-year old daughter and I both love Mexican food, and we weren't disappointed! We started with their guacomole, which is so fresh. We finished with a chicken/filet mignon fajita for 2, and we both loved it!
Plan on going back... again and again!

We enjoyed our dinner here very much. Definitely a big step up from most "Mexican" restaurants. Very warm and relaxing setting, and the food was excellent. Try the guacamole appetizer - mixed up right at your table, so you are consulted about the extra ingredients -onions, diced tomatoes, parsley, etc. - you wish added.
Everything we tried was really good,...

My fiancé and I came here on our trip to Montreal and it was wonderful. We had the fundido to start and it was so good, the flavours were really great. The guac was the best I've had. I had the pollo de la diabla and it was very spicy, which I love, and again full of flavour. If I...

The room was empty when we arrived...8.50 for a small very ordinary margarita, not right. Starter plate to share, 18 cad for 4, that was good and well priced. Then main courses, aro. 22 cad each. The four of them were very disappointing, seemed like each plate was pre cooked, frozen and too strongly re-heat. Not acceptable for this amount...
